So, in the wake of some local inquiries and several reports of creepy clowns being spotted elsewhere around the country, the Bangor Police Department offered its take on the recent sightings and some advice for those who are a little "creeped out" by the whole thing.

On Tuesday, Orono Police reported clown sightings in that town, and here have been reports of creepy clowns in many states including South Carolina, New York, Alabama, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Nevada and Ohio. There also have been arrests.
